After Muammar Gaddafi's consistent claims that those rebelling against his rule are drug-addled youths being manipulated by al-Qaeda, the Libyan anti-narcotics force now says it has intercepted 37 million units of Tramadol, a painkiller, that had been allegedly bought by a Libyan drug dealer "with links to al-Qaeda".

Anderson Cooper also reported on this at the top of his AC360 show on CNN tonight. After showing the huge cache of drugs that the regime staged for the press, he described Gaddafi's claims about AQ putting hallucinogenics in Libyans' Nescafe. Finally, he ended with the punchline: the drugs that were intercepted were not hallucinogenics--they were a common painkiller!

:rofl:

Well done, Anderson!
